Market of niche crops (malting barley, sorghum, peas, oats, millet, buckwheat, rye, rice, mustard seed, flaxseed) of Ukraine

 

Ukraine is known throughout the world as the agrarian country, with its endless fields of wheat, barley, maize, sunflower seed, soybeans and rapeseed also. However, except of the reporting agricultural crops, we can offer such crops as sorghum, peas, chick peas, millet, buckwheat, mustard seed, flaxseed and malting barley to the world market, which are quite high in demand on the global market, but not so much popular as already well-recommended wheat or soybeans.

The study "Market of niche crops" shows the position of Ukraine on the world market of trading with these crops, and also give the current estimation of the world demand in these crops.

Besides, the study provides an understanding of the current situation on the market of niche grains and oilseeds in Ukraine (volumes of production, consumption, trading), and discusses the future prospects of the market development in the nearest future. For example, during recent three years the planted areas under sorghum in Ukraine increased in over 3 times, the general production increased in 4 times, and the exports showed the growth in 3 times in the reporting period! Such trend is typical for many other agricultural crops, which are observed in the study.

The study also determines the profitability of growing of agricultural crops as one of the key indicators for agricultural producer, and shows the advantages and features of cultivation, storage, exports and state regulation of the reporting crops.

In conclusion of the study there is conducted the SWOT-analysis of each of the observed niche crops and its markets.



Representative sampling:

  • producers;

  • processors;

  • traders.

The sampling is made up considering the peculiarities of the production of each of the observed niche crops.
